INVESTIGATE

• 
  

Investigate resources to look for an answer

• What criteria should I use to evaluate and select the information sources?
• Where are the sources located and what information does each source provide?
• Where is the information within each source and how do I locate it?
• What problems am I having in finding information and how do I solve these problems?
• How can I find what I need and respect the rights of others to equal access to information?
